This should be moved to Port (wine), no? I have only heard Portuguese people call it 'Port wine'.

strange Port characteristic

When I lived in London I occasionally drank after-dinner port with a trendy 'Merkin who worked at Christies. Sometimes he had bottles of *really* old port. I would drink it and then become aware of something strange in my mouth like very soft chewing gum. It was apparently a by-product of old port. What the devil is it?
